Step‑by‑Step Instructions for Winter Squash Bowl
  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. Cut the winter squash in half lengthwise, scoop out the seeds, brush with olive oil, and season with salt and spices.
  3. Place the squash halves cut-side down on the baking sheet and roast for 25-30 minutes until fork-tender.
  4. Rinse and drain the chickpeas, pat them dry, and toss with olive oil and seasonings.
  5. After 10-15 minutes of roasting squash, add the chickpeas to the baking sheet and roast for an additional 15-20 minutes.
  6. Sauté greens in a skillet over medium heat for 3-5 minutes until wilted and vibrant in color, seasoning with salt and pepper.
  7. Assemble your bowls by flipping the roasted squash over and filling with chickpeas and sautéed greens, adding toppings as desired.
  8. Garnish the bowls with fresh herbs and serve warm.
